I saw him again today,
saw him with his girlfriend.
And I don't understand why,
     Why he doesn't see that I treat him more than a friend.

"Hey, I saw a pretty girl earlier!"
  Then I showed him the picture,
And as usual-- "my girlfriend's prettier."

I kept quiet,
pretending that everything's okay.
When deep inside,
He hurts me with every word he says.

"Sorry I didn't reply earlier, my girlfriend texted me."
I smile,
whenever I hear that.
"I'm okay." I whisper.

Getting used to it wasn't easy,
but I thought-- Once you realized the pain you've caused me,
I'll be with someone who actually cares enough not to hurt me.
